What is there about Tinubu to be envied by Obasanjo? Is it the forfeiture of $460,000 drug related money to the US or his insatiable greed for stealing from the common people? This Garba of a man is really a comedian to be comparing a common identity thief among real and great yoruba leaders dead or alive. There is actually nothing to envy about someone who has cornered the common wealth of his people to himself, family members and cronies.

Anybody who has been following the southwest politics will know that Adamu Garba is very right on this. Obasanjo has finally made himself irrelevant In Yoruba land. With this endorsement, his already dented image is now totally battered
It really unfortunate, u guys don’t seem to support good things , a man (OBJ)recognized world wide is irrelevant is Yoruba land , because he is not tribalist like some of u fools, it’s unfortunate

A former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba has said that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo is desperately envious of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the standard bearer of APC in the 2023 general elections.
According to Garba, Obasanjo never wanted any Yoruba man to outgrow him while alive, hence would choose not to support the presidential ambition of Tinubu.
Recall on Sunday, in his new year message, signed by the former President and made available to newsmen by his aide, Kehinde Akinyemi on Sunday, Obasanjo endorsed Obi for presidency in the 2023 general elections.
He described Obi as his mentee and said the former Anambra State governor had an edge in the 2023 elections.
Reacting, Garba took to his Twitter handle on Sunday to assure Obasanjo of his endorsement being a loss.
He wrote, “Envy is an immense disease. I respect & continue to respect General Olusegun Obasanjo.
However, I advise him to outgrow his envy of Tinubu at this stage of his life.
“Obasanjo is desperately envious of the rise and shine of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his lost in this one is sure to come.
“It is a well known fact that Obasanjo never wanted any Yoruba man to grow above him while he’s still alive.
“Yet Bola Tinubu, his arch political rival, who dethroned him from South West Politics is about becoming the President of Nigeria. His actions should not surprise you.

“Obasanjo want to remain the only living Yoruba man to use the GCFR title. He never wanted anyone to get that.
‘But we’ll promise him one thing, by God’s Grace, we’ll be inviting him to the swearing-in ceremony of Tinubu on May 29, 2023 as commander in chief and GCFR, insha Allah.

Adamu said ''President Obasanjo don't want any Yoruba person to outgrow him''. Please which history book is Adamu reading. Checkout Chief Obasanjo history , one-time Head of State and Commdr in chief the Armed forces , two time President of Federal Republic of Nigeria and Commdr in chief of the Armed forces. That is to say that Chief Obasanjo had presided over Nigeria as CEO on three different occasions. Let me not waste time counting Federal Commissioner and other posts Chief Obasanjo held while in the Army. So, please Mr Adamu tell me which other Yoruba will match that. It's insulting to compare Chief Obasanjo with Tinubu in Nigeria. Tinubu had been a regional player, this is the first time he is coming up on national stage.

a two term former president of the most populous black nation on earth envious ?
a retired former military head of state envious of a known drug lord?
I wouldn't blame the man though, the constant slamming of head has seriously affected his medulla oblongata

1999 general elections BAT didn't support Obj, 2003 general elections BAT didn't support Obj, obj wasn't jealous of BAT without BAT's support.

Fast forward to 2023, Obj doesn't support BAT all of a surden OBJ is jealous of BAT.

You all should calm down, critical thinking is needed here.
APC and it's hunger ravaged hound dogs have no business with critical thinking

I wonder why a 3 time President of Nigeria will be envious of a former governor BAT is aspiring to be a president which OBJ last exited as way back as 2007.I wonder why a 3 time President of Nigeria will be envious of a former governor BAT is aspiring to be a president which OBJ last exited as way back as 2007....
